No, it's worse. Currently, if anything were to happen to my data, I could redownload it freely. If anything happens to your data with physical media, like the disc getting scratched and damaged, lost, or stolen, you're just SOL.

Sure, if GOG goes belly up that goes away, but that's what you're stuck with in physical media the second you walk out the door with the disc.
